Project description

The CAPE TOWN BIOTHEQUE (its name a nod to the old bioscopes of South Africa) is an experimental project forming part of Sarah Zinn's master’s thesis in African studies through Ghent University. Instead of superimposing European models, the Biotheque is a guerrilla screening experience: screenings can happen in any cracks of the city of Cape Town and attract new audiences for rare African films.
